The old hedge that has for years been
growing wildly around part of the Catholic
church property in this town has been torn
away. A number of farmers, members of
the church did the work. The hedge was
replaced with substantial fence The
members of the church also bought posts
and otherwise assisted in the work. The
proceeds of the recent straw berry festival
which amounted to $50, We're expended on
this work. 1t is proposed to erect hand
parsonage provided the necessary funds are
raised. A Fourth of July picnic is con-
templated tor this purpose. Rev. j. ID.
Carey, pastor, had an architect one day this
week to take drawings for design for new
front porch and entrance to the church.
This propostd improvement would add
greatly to the appearance of the bailding.
A prominent citiZel of Elkton has re-
Vaughn, who was formerly principal of the

a female collegiate school at Ekton. He is
not satisfied with the location of his present
school. He states that ''if the way is clear"
he will be ready to open in Septem Der a
boarding and day school for girls. He could
move his boarders from Eichland and as
soon as he could do so would erect sui
table building some distance from town. In
the meantime he could hire temporary
rooms in the hall or elsewhere. In conclu.
sion he writes that he wants "to found and
establish an Institution of high grade for
young women" Holly Hall has been sug-
gested as fine building for the purpose.
